Victory has its price. Never was a victory more costly than the one Crazy Horse secured over the forces of Lt. Col. George A. Custer at Little Bighorn. Crazy Horse and Custer, a world premiere from playwright Jon George and the Sacramento Theatre Company, examines the tragic irony of Crazy Horse's big "win." Speaking for himself and all Native Americans, the great Lakota leader details the loss -- of culture, pride and life -- his people suffered in the years after the armed conflict. Custer speaks, too, noting that although he perished in battle, his values live on in American life. Crazy Horse and Custer breaks down the iconic images of these two figures to find the real men who changed the course of American history.
